NCT ID NCT06400680
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to develop a new way to measure how the spine moves during walking in children, both healthy and those with scoliosis. Researchers will use a special camera system and reflective markers placed on the skin to track movement. The goal is to create a reliable and easy-to-use tool for doctors to assess spine problems in kids.
